Surgery for Cats and Dogs
Sometimes pets develop conditions that can benefit from surgery. Whether it's a broken bone, a foreign body in the organs, or a routine spay or neuter, surgery serves many purposes. At Broadway Oaks Animal Hospital, we offer both soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Soft tissue surgery treats conditions in a pet's internal organs, skin, and other soft tissues. It's an important tool for diagnosing, treating, or removing abnormalities, injuries, and diseases in the body.
We often do this type of surgery for the following reasons:
- Tumor removal
- Foreign body removal
- Wound repair
- Organ conditions
- Bladder stone removal
- Spaying and neutering
If you think your pet may need soft tissue surgery, reach out to our caring team. We can help find out if this type of surgery would be beneficial to your cat or dog.
Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery helps treat conditions that affect your pet’s bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and spine. The core goal of orthopedic surgery is to help restore your pet's mobility and relieve pain caused by musculoskeletal issues.
If your pet is a candidate for orthopedic surgery, we will either refer out or call a specialist to come in and perform the surgery in-house.
We might recommend orthopedic surgery for:
- Bone fracture repair
- Torn ligament repair
- Joint stabilization
- Spinal surgery
- Arthritis management
If you’re concerned about your dog or cat, bring them in to see our team. We can get to know your four-legged friend and identify whether orthopedic surgery can help.
The Surgery Process at Broadway Oaks Animal Hospital
Before your pet’s surgical procedure, we’ll do pre-anesthetic workups and exams to make sure your pet is physically ready for surgery. Sometimes, our pre-operation process will include X-rays and lab work.
While your pet is in surgery, two members of our veterinary team will be dedicated to monitoring vitals. These two skilled people will keep a close eye on your pet the entire time she or he is in surgery. One will watch your pet for visible signs of distress, while the other will use veterinary tools to monitor your pet’s vitals.
Plus, the surgeon performing the procedure will also have your pet’s health and safety at the top of their mind.
There will always be a team of experts making sure your pet is in the best possible hands.
After the procedure, we will call you with an update on how your pet is doing as he or she comes out of anesthesia. From there, we’ll discuss pickup times, instructions, and aftercare tips for your pet.
Before each surgery, we require pet parents to fill out our presurgical form.
